i just finsihed my pod filter install on the RS260.

Picked up 2x dual entry metal cap DRiFT pod filters from Autobarn, and some adapters and mounting straps. Got a 90'Deg bend and a few bits and pieces and its all in looking awesome.

I ran a cold air feed with some flexi duct up from behind left hand indicator, up around the washer bottle, between the guard and the panel, and it feeds cold air directly onto the pods. Will post up pics when i remember. All up, cost me $186 for all materials, and took me about 2 hours to do.

I used to have a mad CAI setup on my NA soobie which was setup for 104kw/wheels

Well its done.

I went with an Apexi Pod that bolted direct to the AFM- NO adaptors, No mucking around. a gasket and 4 Bolts DONE.

Then went to Bunnings to purchase some tinted perspex and ClarkRubber for some rubber edge and some 65mm black flexipipe.

Bent up a heat sheild and chucked it over the pod. Also moved some of the contents in my Engine bay :) under it.

Ran the flexi pipe from front bar into engine bay via the unused stock intercoller pipe, puts air straigh onto pod, streched an old stocking over the end in the bay aswell as a pre filter.

When their is no direct focused light on it (aka camera flash) its pretty dark under it.

Cheers Jesse,

Pod was 85 i think or very close to it posted from JDM tune- a Ebay store.

after purchase i found out acording to a mate the Drift branded pods from autobahn, flow and filter very well and would be half the cost I think!

hey mate nice work with that heat shield and cold air induction, whats that stuff you used? tinted perspex aye? from bunnings you reckon? i might have a crack at the heat shield, but the induction might have to wait until i get rid of my SMIC and get a FMIC, still a heat shield is better than no shield, (although i do have my stock Cold air scoop blowing cool air straight onto the pod)

I did originally take the pod off and put the stock box back on, but then i did that $5 intake pipe mod (see how to's and FYI and DIY) and i could only just fit my pod in the engine bay, so no way would my stock box go back on, thinking of getting one of those apexi pods tho, they are a bit shorter in length so it might fit easier.

Once again top job mate!

yeah the tinted perspex is from bunnings.

Mmmmm with stock intercooler you'd just need to be more creative with where you source the air from and how you get it into the bay ;)

Ive been thinking of doing the intake pipe mod for a while but never actually have.... Notice any difference? More induction noise im guessing? (mine doesnt need any more.... sounds like a jumbo jet as it is!)

hrmm yeh, but i still really want to get a FMIC soon... so not much point in doing it that way i guess, and yeh i can tell there is a bit more go after doing that intake pipe mod. i didnt actually do what the DIY said to do. i just cut the hose while it was still attached (couldnt work out how i'd get to the hose clamp near the turbo so yeh just sorta winged it and forced it into rubber pipe)

But yeh man i would do it hey, it seems to be a lot more responsive now (probably that and the fact i did a service on it straight after aswell :) )

I spent $180 in Autobarn, and got 2 high-flowing DRiFT filters, adapter plates, clamps, and mounting brackets

put them all on in an hour, using a 90 degree bend of black alloy.

tried to take a photo on my phone, but didn't work too well in the dark

will upload photo tomorrow night

Decided to put my POD filter on this weekend and make myself up a bracket and heat shield. its made from 1.6mm 316 stainless, i used reinforced rubber edging around the edges. i made it in two piece as it was easier to fold up and work with that way. i also used the factory CAI snorkle. the top of the shield meets up flush (or close enough) to the bonnet. i used the factory airbox mounting holes for mounts for the shield and bracket.

here is the finish product, i think it turned out fairly good.

Pod + Hot Air = Worthless

Pod + Cold Air Boxed = Magic!!!! :D

Spent the whole day working on it. Boxed up the pod and got a 3inch flex pipe from the front guard into the stock intercooler hole.

The difference amazing.Ill try post some pics up soon. Btw its on a 34, but i guess you could use the same concept.

I couldn't believe the difference. :(

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
